    the diffraction limit of a lens cant really be circumvented optically, it’s a fundamental limit of light due to being waves. so some insane refractive index wont help.

      but elves are magical, so what if their eyes don’t care about the physical nature of light and just sorta convert it to magical pseudo-light when it contacts their tissue?
